The REAL cost of a B swap

[deviant1]

- buy B18C(gsr) engine for like $3500 or whatever
- have it cleaned up and installed - DO IT YOUR SELF - LEARN
- needs compatible intake - USED $100
- needs compatible exhaust so buy a 5zigen catvback - $500
- more powerful engine needs better shocks/brakes setup so buy a whole set of both... > $800-1000(used Tien's) ($500- GSR Brakes all around)


$3500
$100
$500
$1000
$500
---------------
$5600

IF U DONT DO THE WORK UR SELF, thats y it $10K

all it takes is a $500 air compressor, some tools, and a garage, and a 4-7 project....motor and suspension

installing a motor yourself is a neat project, but not everyone has the time or tools to do so.

Sure, but i mean he has to have friends, that are willing to help man, like still u have to give the car to a shop, and wait, so i mean so what if it takes you a couple days more, but u learn alot more, and tool well add another $1000 to my quote, but u will always have tools...me and my bro do swaps in 7-10hrs now on a nice day....so i mean its not hard work, only the first time it gets a bit challanging...
